It's dark.

"Where am I? "

Darkness was all she could see. She remembered going to sleep so where was she.

The faint sound of water dripping somewere in the background was present .

A clicking sound became prominent to her. It was faint but just noticeable.

"Is someone there? "

she shouted in the direction of the clicking.

The sound started to get louder and the sound of something walking, it sounded like an animal trotting around.

A shadow appeared in the distance and all went silent as it started to move closer. It looked like a large dog but something felt wrong.

"hello there, are you lost? Do you have an owner?"

It got close enough to see that it's ribs were plainly viable. It stopped and let out a gurgling noice before it's mouth spread into a wide smile. This was not a normal dog. It turned its head to the side and smiked wider than should be possible. It's teeth followed the smile and the corners of it mouth curled up at the end's

" H.. Hello"

Before she could say anything more the dog like creature let out an ear splitting scream.

It sounded like a woman being tortured

She dropped to the ground and covered her ears until it stopped.

She looked up. Teeth were inches away from her face as blood dripped onto her pJ's. 

It lunged forward and bit her arm.

She screamed. Rapid foot steps were heard and the sound of a door swinging open.

She felt some one hold her

Alison opened her eyes to see her mom hugging her and her dad at the end of the bed. Was she in her room

"The dog. It bit me"

She cried breathing heavily and barely audible

Her mom looked at her concern on her face

"what dog sweetie"

Her dad suddenly spoke up

"Oh my go Sharon her arm:

They all looked at her arm to see blood oozing out and her PJ's drenched

They picked her up and set to the hospital. Her parents shooting glances at each other as she tried to stop her sobbing
.
.
.
The doctors patched her up and said it  was a large dog bite, but they didn't have a dog

When the got home her dad searched the house and said her window was still shut.

She slept in her parent bead that night or more she lay on her parents bed.

She couldn't forget those eyes, the teeth and oh god that scream.
